UMAYYAD: Hisham, 724-743, AR dirham (2.35g), al-Andalus, AH123, A-137, Klat-—, clipped down to lighter standard, lovely strike, VF, RRRR. This is the second known specimen of the mint/date combination, which appears in Horizon Auction 1, Lot 284, which is of very similar style, though of different dies. Later date, and some earlier date, Umayyad dirhams of al-Andalus are frequent clipped down, presumably to match later standards of the Umayyads of Spain so that they would remain in circulation.
